State Operations

The Executive's proposed budget for SFY 2003-04 includes Special Revenue Fund-Other appropriations of $13,057,500 reflecting a decrease of $686,500 or 5 percent from SFY 2002-03. This decrease represents:

  • a $256,000 net decrease in appropriation reflecting salary adjustments, elimination of vacant positions, continuation of the hiring freeze and other costs associated with the agency operations;

  • a $239,000 decrease resulting from the elimination of the State Liquor Authority (SLA); and

  • a $192,000 decrease achieved by transfer of certain administrative functions, such as payroll, to the Office of General Services.

The Executive's SFY 2003-04 budget recommendation for the Division assumes a workforce of 156 FTE positions, reflecting a decrease of 16 FTE positions.

Article VII

  • The Executive proposes legislation to abolish the State Liquor Authority and transfer its functions to the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC).

  • The Executive also proposes legislation to authorize ABC to file default judgments for unpaid penalties.
